The Met Office has confirmed that the average temperature in the UK last year was a balmy 10.09°C, which is 0.96°C above the long–term average. According to the Met Office, this is a 'clear demonstration of the impacts of climate change'. While Britain has a reputation for its miserable weather, the Met Office has also confirmed that 2025 was the sunniest year on record. Both Spring and Summer 2025 were also the UK's warmest on record. Dr Samantha Burgess, deputy director of C3S, agreed with the Met Office that climate change is largely to blame.
